That is a big issue because, interestingly enough, even though 650 million have been decided upon, no one will make them pay it. They we re no one will make them pay it. They were pushing for this penalty but said they do not expect them to pay it. The reason is there is a separate settlement of 1 billion. Within that, there is money for the car settlement and those affected and victims. Lets not forget, many people were injured and died because of these airbag faults.

Thousands of University Lecturers have started strike action over planned changes to their pensions. Elaine dunkley reports. At leeds university, lecturers out on the picket line. Thousands of lectures have been cancelled on campuses across the uk, the message give us the pensions we paid into, or there will be mass disruption. Were expecting things to grant to a halt, really. Forms wont be signed, classes wont be taught, Research Deadlines wont be met. Were likely to lose about £10,000 a year. Now, vice chancellors are earning about £250,000 to £280,000 a year, so i have questions about why the money shouldnt be coming out of their salaries and not out of our pensions. The University Said a £6 billion deficit in the scheme means its unsustainable, and could only be maintained by making cuts to jobs and research. Universities say they have offered a good deal, but lecturers are not convinced. Currently, we have what is called a defined benefit scheme, which means we put money in and we will definitely get a certain amount back when we retire. The defined contribution scheme which is being offered means that what we end up with in the pot will depend on the vagaries of the market and other things, and it means we cant be certain of what well have. Left unresolved, more lectures could be cancelled and exams affected. You pay over £9,000 in fees. Do you feel short changed by all of this . The students support their lecturers, but are also worried about their future. More than 80,000 students have signed petitions calling for fees to be reimbursed. When we signed up to university, it was specified in the curriculum that we would have a certain number of hours of contact time with our lecturers. Anything short of that is essentially a breach of contract. We worked out that it works out at about £1,150 worth of lost contact time. But we fully support our lecturers in going on strike. This dispute is being fought on University Campuses across the uk, which included marches in cardiff. Belfast, and glasgow. How its resolved will have a Significant Impact on the retirement of thousands of lecturers, and the future of millions of students. Elaine dunkley, bbc news.
